A large part of managing risk in today's complex systems is system testing and validation. Implementing effective testing strategies throughout the system life cycle results in stable and reliable systems. In this course, you will learn how testing and validation helps to ensure system functionality and performance. You will explore how to develop and apply common system tests through the system life cycle and discover how to analyze the results of those tests and match tests to system requirements. Next, you will learn useful testing techniques like prototyping, simulation, and utilizing user feedback. Finally, you will examine some case studies that show what can happen when proper system testing is not followed.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Discover the key concepts covered in this course
    Outline the role of verification and validation in ensuring quality, reliability, and safety
    Recognize the purposes of validation and verification and how they complement each other in the systems development process
    Outline the importance of creating validation plans that encompass all aspects of systems requirements, design specifications, and stakeholder expectations
    Provide an overview of validation activities, including simulation, prototyping, and user feedback collection, to ensure that a system meets user needs and requirements
    Recognize techniques for system verification, unit testing, integration testing, and system-level testing to validate system functionality and performance
    Identify formal methods and techniques used to rigorously verify system properties, especially in safety-critical systems
  • Provide an overview of continuous verification throughout a system life cycle, emphasizing the importance of adapting to changing requirements and conditions
    Identify tools and frameworks for validation and verification
    Outline how to analyze validation and verification results, interpret findings, and generate comprehensive reports
    List validation and verification best practices used to ensure the reliability and robustness of systems
    Provide an overview of common validation errors, methods for mitigating system failure, and why validation fails
    Recognize the ethical implications of system failures due to inadequate validation and verification
